The food here is quite good; flavors on everything were top notch, but service was abysmally slow.The menu states that the hummus and salatim arrive at your table first, then your other items as ready. We got our hummus and roasted chicken first, and the salatim somewhere in the middle of the meal. The food itself was quite delicious, and the time between ordering the food and getting it was pretty quick.After we were done, we waited quite a bit for our server to come back. We didn't leave until they were taking down the umbrellas outside; it was about a 3.5 hour affair with drinks, dinner, and dessert.Overall, the food and drinks were really good, but the service just needs to pick up the pace.

My personal favorite is the shakshuka—eggs cooked with tomatoes and flavorful Middle Eastern spices. It caters to both traditional diners and those seeking a modern take on classic dishes. Just ask, and you won’t be disappointed!

Our meal consisted of: chickpea/hard egg hummus, really liked the consistency of the hummus and flavors. fries, my niece and nephew loved these! The aioli wasreally good too. The crispness of the fries was perfect. I wish there was a little more za’atar spice though khachapuri ,this is one of my favorite dishes, definitely recommend it skirt steak, was cooked perfectly and the pepper with it was verynicely roasted and the sauces that came with it were fantastic chicken, this was cooked very well but not my favorite dishas chicken is just kind of a boring for me cauliflower, the char on it was so good and pairing it with the sauce just broughtthe flavors together so well. Only tough part was carving the cauliflower. Might be good to cut it in half when serving Ishared a bottle of the Lo Fi Gamay/Pinot noir and I highly recommend it as well. I think small improvements could be made, butI’ve eaten here 3 times and have loved almost everything
